Receiving Stereo And Bilin-
gual Programmes
Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and,
if you own the HR-DD949EH, a Digital stereo sound decoder
(NICAM) as well, making reception of stereo and bilingual broad-
casts possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
To Record Stereo And Bilin-
gual Programmes (A2)
● Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on
the Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording
mixed L and R channel sound).
● Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual
on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be recorded
on the normal audio track.
NOTES:
●
If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the
broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.
●
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a
bilingual programme, refer to "Soundtrack Selection" (
੬
pg. 16).
